After-market universal tail lights

magnaton · December 4th, 2016, 05:03 PM

Hey there,

Got my first bike -- a new-to-me 2006 250. Loving it, but want a street fighter. This weekend I pulled of all the fairings and have started the journey to get it a little closer to what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to find an aftermarket tail light (preferably with integrated turn signals) that won't take too much (any?) fabrication to make fit on the tug bar/ frame at the back of the bike.

Most of the amazon options have terrible reviews, and I have no interest in compromising safety. So, I was wondering what you folks have used? Pictures would be awesome. Links would be even better. Pic below of my work in progress

Many thanks!

I bought a generic cheap LED taillight on eBay. The wire colors will most certainly be different if you buy a universal one, but it usually says which wire is which.

Try this? It pops into those empty pods on your stock tail-light, which allows you to bolt it right on. Amber lenses are preferred, but it looks like they're no longer available.

This is one of my favorites. Very bright and also tiny. You can remove the light from the fender and mount it anywhere.

That's pretty neat. I would have tried that kit if I had known about it. Now I have all three tail light sections lit for the brake light, with separate turn signals.
